Standard Liège - Sporting Charleroi betting tips and odds

Though Standard Liège are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Standard Liège on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

All things considered, Standard Liège will have been happy with their previous Pro League result. They had a tough trip where everyone predicted they would end up coming from bleeding but Standard Liège held their ground both in the first and the second half to earn a point in a Anderlecht HT/FT Draw.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.63, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

Standard Liège have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Sporting Charleroi is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

These two teams already clashed multiple times this season, and neither managed to come out on top in any of those games. Most bookmakers see Standard Liège as the favourites, though, so they’ll want to use the extra drive of being the hosts to finally earn a conclusive result.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.05. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
